Why do the scientist think that the asteroid belt did not form a planet?

Jupiter's massive gravitational force, (along with Mars lesser gravitional force) prevented the asteroid belt from forming into a planet. Either that or it was a small planet (like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) that was smashed to bits after a collision with a very large object and the bits eventually formed into the asteroid belt.

What do most scientist think prevented the rocks in the asteroid belt from forming into a planet?
I don't know I'm asking you

Saturn isn't located in the asteroid belt. In the solar system, you have the sun, mercury, venus, earth, mars, the asteroid belt (separating terrestrial and jovian planets) then jupiter, saturn, uranus, and finally neptune. Pluto is not a planet.
Is the planet Uranus located inside the asteroid belt or inside the asteroid belt?
no

Was there ever a planet in the Asteroid belt?
No planet ever existed where the asteroid belt is. The mass is insufficient for a planet to have formed from all that debris.
Is the planet Uranus located inside the asteroid belt or inside the asteroid belt?
no
What planet is located behind the asteroid belt?
Jupiter is behind the asteroid belt
Is a asteroid belt a terrestrial planet?
No. The asteroid belt is an area where there are more asteroids than in other parts of the solar system It is not a planet, nor is there enough mass in the asteroid belt to form a whole planet.
What is Jupiter next too?
The Planet Jupiter is between the planet Saturn and the asteroid belt. On the other side of the asteroid belt is the planet Mars.

There are asteroids around, but the asteroid belt is out beyond the planet Mars.
